Weight loss is a process that requires perseverance and scientific methods, instead of finding quick solutions. According to nutrition experts, many women start a diet with good goals but unintentionally make mistakes that slow down metabolism, disrupt hormones, and make fat reduction ineffective for a long time.
Dr. Rohini Patil - nutritionist and founder of Nutracy Lifestyle (India) - said that many women in the process of losing weight often repeat mistakes such as excessive dieting or nutritional imbalance, making weight control difficult.
Eating too little
One of the biggest mistakes is cutting too many calories to lose weight quickly. This can cause the body to fall into a state of energy deprivation, slow down metabolism, reduce muscle mass and cause prolonged fatigue. In the long run, dieters are prone to regaining weight due to increased hunger and appetite.
Not getting enough protein
Many women only focus on reducing carbohydrates or fat and ignore protein. Meanwhile, protein plays an important role in maintaining muscle, controlling satiety, stabilizing blood sugar and supporting hormone activity. Protein deficiency can make the body prone to muscle loss and reduce fat burning efficiency.
Abuse of diet food
Many people think that just choosing diet foods will help lose weight, but this is not entirely true. In fact, many products labeled as diet, low in fat or good for health may still contain sugar, salt, bad fats and additives. If used regularly or eaten too much, the total calorie intake into the body will still increase, thereby making the weight loss process less effective or even causing weight gain again.
Sleep deprivation and prolonged stress
Sleep and psychology directly affect weight. When stress is prolonged, the body increases the secretion of cortisol, a fat-accumulating hormone, especially in the abdomen. Lack of sleep also disrupts the hormone that controls feelings of hunger and fullness, causing loss of control over eating.
Want to lose weight too quickly
Many people are eager to lose weight quickly, so they apply extreme diets or unscientific body detoxification. These methods are often unsustainable and easily weaken the body, while increasing the risk of weight gain again.
Notes
According to Dr. Rohini Patil, sustainable weight loss is not only a weight-to-weight reduction but also improving overall health, endocrine balance and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for a long time. Instead of chasing short-term diets, women should build reasonable eating habits, get enough sleep and exercise regularly to achieve sustainable results.
